Later today, Friday, October 22nd, we will release the long-awaited update to the Papyrological Navigator. PN 2.0 is a complete rewrite of the PN system, with tight integration of the data, display, and search capabilities.
New features include:

All of the Duke Databank and HGV texts are released under a Creative Commons Attribution license and the APIS data is released under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial license.
We hope you will enjoy using the new system. Look for more frequent updates in the future!

Participants in any papyrological project or publication effort that involves digital technology beyond simple desktop word-processing tools are invited to become co-authors of this blog. Its purpose is to disseminate project news, publicize best practices, compare methodologies, suggest advances and discuss challenges. Germane comments from users of digital papyrological publications and tools are welcome.
